Xiqiong Island is located in the westernmost of the thousands of islands in this sea area, and is very close to the "Ghost Island".
Of course, most of the golden elixir cultivators who are able to build the cave here have special skills, and some are even ghost cultivators. The arrival of Kong Laosan surprised some of the golden elixir cultivators on Xiqiong Island.
After all, generally speaking, few cultivators are willing to take the initiative to come to this peripheral island.
Among the many islands, Xiqiong Island is relatively small in area. Even so, the area is also surprisingly large. In the void, Kong Laosan glanced downwards, then turned his head, towards the ghost island.
I looked in the direction, and after a moment, I seemed to have made a decision. I flashed, headed due south, and landed on the side facing the "Ghost Island". I found an open place with the back of the mountain wall, and started to arrange it.
stand up.
Kong Laosan's method was simple and crude. He directly dug a cave about the size of a house on the mountain wall, polished the surrounding stone walls, and then used it as a temporary residence.
In the cave, Kong Laosan tapped his fingers, and golden sword rays flew out from his fingers. The huge rocks that were originally chopped down were entangled and chopped horizontally by these sword rays. Like a magical axe, they turned into a stone table and three stone benches.
, a piece of stone.
After the arrangement was completed, Kong Laosan took out the black storage bag given by the old man and shook it casually. In addition to some flags and plates, clothing and other items, there were also some commonly used items such as cups and pots.
Nothing else.
These things in front of you can be regarded as the standard equipment for Jindan cultivators. The formations arranged in these formations and flags have a simple name, called "Clear Water Formation". The effect is simple, and it can prevent mortals, birds and beasts from stepping into it.
After activation, it can directly absorb the water spirit air swimming in the air and run on its own. This is the only advantage of this formation.
After thinking about it, Kong Laosan decided to set up the formation first. With a thought in his heart, the spiritual energy in his body roared out, turned into more than thirty rays of light, wrapped all the formation flags, and headed towards
He flew away outside the cave.
In just one cup of tea, more than thirty rays of spiritual light fell around the cave. At the same time, a faint formation wave enveloped the entire cave, completely covering the stone walls.
Just after the arrangement was completed, a look of surprise flashed across Kong Laosan's face, and he looked outside the cave. In an instant, a ray of fire flew over and turned into a fireball the size of an egg, floating in front of Kong Laosan. At the same time, a ray of fire flew over.
The middle-aged man's voice sounded slowly, "I, Xuanzi, have met my Taoist friend, and now I know that my friend has built a mansion on Xiqiong Island, so I came here to pay my respects."
His voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Kong Laosan thought for a while and then walked out of the cave, only to see a middle-aged Taoist wearing a blue mysterious robe, a disheveled bun, and a withered face standing quietly outside the cave.
As Kong Laosan waved his sleeves, the formation in front of him fluctuated slightly), revealing
A small path extends just in front of the Taoist.
"Haha, I know that my friend Xuanzi is here to build a mansion, so I came here to pay him a visit."
Seeing Kong Laosan, Xuanzi squeezed out two dry smiles from his throat and spoke softly.
"It's an honor for Kong, fellow Taoist, to come here. If you don't mind it, why don't you go into the house and sit for a while?"
Kong Laosan looked at Xuanzi with a vague look. His tone could not be described as cold, nor could he be said to be cold, but rather he sounded like a gentleman.
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
Hearing what Kong Laosan said, Xuanzi was not polite at all and nodded directly in agreement. However, just when Xuanzi came to Kong Laosan and was just three steps away, Kong Laosan's eyes moved slightly and his face changed.
The surprised look on his face was suppressed, and he called the Taoist to walk towards the cave.
The cave in front of him had just been excavated. It was neither exquisite nor shabby, but Xuanzi didn't care about it. As soon as he took his seat, he looked Kong Laosan up and down and said, "Fellow Taoist is so unfamiliar, he must have just joined Beihai."
Business alliance, right? I wonder if you have joined the demon hunting team?"
Hearing what Xuanzi said, Kong Laosan probably understood the purpose of the other party's visit. When Xuanzi finished speaking, Kong Laosan slowly shook his head and said, "Kong just came here, and I'm going to get familiar with it for a while.
I have no plans to join some teams for the time being.”
Hearing this, a look of undisguised disappointment appeared on Xuanzi's face. Just when he was about to say something more, Kong Laosan spoke again, "Fellow Taoist is also a cultivator on Xiqiong Island? I don't know how long he has been here.
Already?"
"Haha, I have been here on Xiqiong Island for some years, about ten years or so. I know most of the cultivators on the island, but many of them are not easy to get along with. They have weird tempers and often live alone.
, there are quite a few people who have lost their lives because of this, it is really a bit irrational.”
Xuanzi shook his head, and while saying it was a pity, he secretly looked at Kong Laosan's expression. However, Kong Laosan had a pale face from the beginning to the end, with no emotion at all, which made Xuanzi feel better.
A moment of discouragement.
"The technique practiced by my fellow Taoist is from the ghost cultivator lineage?"
After hearing what Xuanzi said, Kong Laosan just nodded lightly and then asked in a different tone.
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Kong has extraordinary eyesight. I don't know how you can tell?"
Upon hearing this, Xuanzi's original amiable attitude suddenly disappeared, his face trembled slightly, and he looked at Kong Laosan with a look full of inquiry and doubt, and asked in a slightly cold tone.
"Fellow Taoist, don't be surprised. Kong has no other intentions. I just had some contact with an old ghost monster, so I am more sensitive to ghost energy."
Kong Laosan spoke softly and explained that these words were not false, after all, he had left the
When Abandoned Land first met Gui Yunzi, the latter was indeed a ghost cultivator, but later after he merged with Zhou Taizu, he became somewhat nondescript.
"So that's it, haha, I also accidentally embarked on the path of ghost cultivation back then. Everything was just accidental. Since fellow Taoist has no plans to join the demon hunting team for the time being, I won't force it. However, if fellow Taoist is interested in the future,
I’m always welcome.”
Xuanzi laughed awkwardly twice, and after saying that, he was about to leave. He just walked out of the cave, looked at the "clear water formation" arranged around him, shook his head and said, "Although this formation is simple and convenient, in the end
The defense is insufficient and it has no other uses. If you want to settle here for a long time, Daoist friend Kong would be better off using another method."
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, Kong has just arrived here and has not contributed any points. Even if he wants to change, he will have to wait until he has accumulated enough points."
Kong Laosan said with a wry smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist has just arrived here, so he should have some spiritual stones. The spiritual stones here can also be exchanged for contribution points, but the exchange ratio is a bit high. One contribution point is equivalent to ten spiritual stones. There are also people buying spiritual stones on the black market. The ratio
A little higher than this."
"Oh? Spiritual stones can also be exchanged for contribution points?"
Hearing this news, Kong Laosan's face flashed with surprise, and then he felt overjoyed. Now Kong Laosan didn't have much else in his possession, except for the mountains of spiritual stones he had obtained from Xiaotian Demon Ancestor's storage bag.
The hundreds of millions of spirit stones that came here are still lying quietly in the storage bag.
"Then what is the black market?"
"Haha, fellow Taoist I just came here and I still don't know clearly. No matter where you go, light and darkness coexist. On the surface, there are more than a thousand islands in the entire sea area. The Beihai Merchant Alliance is the most powerful, controlling all sizes in the entire sea area.
All transactions are strictly regulated and cannot be provoked, but there is a "black market" secretly. On the "black market", as long as the Taoist friends have contribution points, they can buy almost anything they want, no matter what, as long as the Taoist friends pay for it.
You can get it at a low price, but for some expensive things, the price on the black market is even higher than the exchange price of the Beihai Merchant Alliance. No one would do this unless necessary."
Xuanzi chuckled, with a bit of weirdness on his face.
"Can I buy everything?"
Kong Laosan chewed on this sentence secretly. Except for a hint of surprise in his eyes, there was not much expression on his face. It was obvious that he had some doubts about this sentence.
"Of course. In fact, the reason why this "black market" can exist is the result of the tacit approval of the Beihai Business Alliance. Even some Yuanying old monsters in the business alliance are still secretly supporting it. As long as things exist in the business alliance, the "black market"
You can almost buy it.”
Hearing this sentence, Kong Laosan's face showed a slight change, but he was not surprised at all. Apparently he had already guessed about these things.
